A/N: Hey guys! Sorry the last two chapters have been short, been really busy lately and wasn't sure if I should have just squished all of that crap into one chapter or not. But whatevs, you'll all live, despite how much the Cliffhanger girl claims the shortness of chapters and lack of drama are killing her xP (love ya, Cliffy haha)

PS: everyone should go check out stories by her (her oneshots will melt your heart, just sayin' ;D )

Read:')

"Dude, you still haven't told her?" Drew questioned his brother as they both folded laundry In their family's den. "I thought Jake told you like a week ago that Bianca feels the same way"

Adam sighed heavily. It was true. He had chickened out big time. And he hated himself for it. It was pretty shameful, actually. "I know, man. But what if Jake doesn't even know what he's talking about? Maybe he just misunderstood her... Or what if he's just straight up lying to make me look stupid or something?"

Drew understood where his brother was coming from. "Well, I mean sure everyone's capable of lying. But Jake seems like a pretty decent guy. I mean I didn't really like him at first because Clare used to tell me how he made her life hell and stuff. But I guess he's changed. He treats her fine, now. He even got me and Clare back together when we fought because she thought that I..."

Drew paused. He was debating whether he should tell the reason why Clare was upset with him at that time. Would it affect Adam at all that Clare thought he wasn't over Bianca? What if Adam started thinking that, too?

"That you...what?"

Drew decided to play it safe. "It doesn't matter. But what does matter is that you get out of that shell of yours and do what you have to do, man."

"Which is...?", Adam question even though he was quite sure he knew what his brother was talking about.

"Tell Bianca how you feel! Dude, I don't want to scare you or anything, plus I know she's changed and everything. Buuut..."

"But what?," Adam asked anxiously.

"But, she has a tendency to move on pretty fast."

Adam gulped down the nervous bile in his throat.

No. he couldn't let that happen. If anyone was going to be kissing those beautiful lips of hers... It was going to be him.

End of story.

...

Adam sat in his English class the next day, tapping his pen nervously as the clock hands moved way too slow for his liking.

Today was the day. When the bell rang, ending this class, lunch would soon begin; which was where he would finally tell Bianca he liked her.

He'd usher her over to a small table just for the two of them. And then he'd tell her.

Adam swallowed hard as horrific visions of her laughing in his face filled his mind.

Should he really do this?...

Yes. He had too. If she moved on, he'd be heartbroken. He just wouldn't be able to take the pain of it all.

He looked up at the clock, and suddenly time was moving almost toofast for him. He needed more time to think. To contemplate. To- RIIING

Oh well, he thought. As the class of teenagers began flooding out of the room, he slowly arose from his seat. His heart was pounding, his hands were sweaty. His stomach swirled with nervousness and just a hint of excitement.

This could be the day that he made Bianca his.

Adam was the last one out of the room. He made his way to his locker that wasn't very far from the room he'd just exited and quickly put his books away. He then began to make his way toward the caf. But before he got there, he heard a pair of very familiar sounding voices. He slowly turned a corner of the hallway to see Jake and Bianca walking together from a distance. Jake had said something that caused her to laugh. The hallways were completely cleared out now with the exception of Jake, Bianca, and Adam who had not yet been seen by them.

Suddenly, Adam was graced with such a horrible thing set before his eyes, he just couldn't take it.

Bianca said something to Jake before reaching up to cup his face with her hand and placing her lips on his.

Jake's POV

It took me by surprise. One minute, I was talking to Bianca about last night's Family Guy episode, and suddenly she was suffocating me with her mouth melded to mine. It was just so out of the blue.

Don't get me wrong, Bianca's cool and everything. We're friends, but I just don't like her like that. In fact, I'm pretty interested in someone else at the moment... (NO, IT'S NOT MY SISTER.)

I didn't push her away, but I didn't kiss back either. I just didn't want to be mean. Plus, girls like Bianca don't tend to take rejection so well. I swear, if I pushed her away it would just be a slap in my face waiting to happen.

When Bianca finally broke the uncomfortable bond between our lips, I just stood there, shocked.

"Um... I don't know what to say-"

"Shh", she hushed me putting her index finger to my lips. "You don't need to say anything"

And with that, she gave me a sexy smile before prancing off to the cafeteria.

I stood there in awe, not completely sure of what had just happened or what I was supposed to do next. I couldn't risk walking into the cafeteria and having an awkward encounter with my friend who had just kissed me. What was this all about, anyway? Didn't she like Adam? Hadn't he told her how he felt yet?

Speaking if the devil, I suddenly saw Adam creep out from around a corner and began walking toward me. And believe me, if looks could kill...

I'd be dead.
